Guy Swann · 6d Everything should always get more affordable over time. There are only two reasons it wouldn’t: • Technology or production capacity has been physically destroyed. • Someone is counterfeiting ... Tyler Burns @Tyler Burns 1775169349 Agreed. But I'd add a couple additional reasons to the two you mentioned:Reason #3: Bureaucracy and red tape is driving up the cost of production.Reason #4: Lack of market competition prevents true price discovery of goods to take place. 2
